- Output Voltage Range: 0.5V to 2.5V (at 3.3V supply)
- Bandwidth: 0.5Hz to 1600Hz (depending on configuration)
- Power Consumption: 350μA (typical)
- Package Type: LGA-16 (3mm x 3mm x 1.1mm)
- Motion detection and control
- Tilt sensing
- Vibration monitoring
- Gaming and motion-based user interfaces
- Robotics and automation
- Health and fitness devices
- Connect the VCC pin to the supply voltage (1.8V to 3.6V).
- Connect the GND pin to the ground.
- Read the analog output voltages from the X, Y, and Z pins.
- Use the output voltages to determine the acceleration in each axis.
- Ensure that the supply voltage does not exceed the maximum rating of 3.6V.
- Avoid exposing the sensor to mechanical shocks beyond its specified range.
- Properly handle the sensor to avoid damage during integration and operation.
